Paul McCartney: “After The Last Eight Years, It’s Great To Have A President Who Knows What A Library Is”

Sir Paul McCartney, in DC to receive the Library of Congress’s Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, dissed the previous president while praising the current one (h/t Crooks and Liars).

“After the last eight years, it’s great to have a President who knows what a library is,” McCartney quipped.

The former Beatle has incurred the disdain of House Minority Leader John Boehner.

“Like millions of other Americans, I have always had a good impression of Paul McCartney and thought of him as a classy guy, but I was surprised and disappointed by the lack of grace and respect he displayed at the White House,” Boehner told HUMAN EVENTS. “I hope he’ll apologize to the American people for his conduct which demeaned him, the White House and President Obama.”

Now, will John Boehner apologize for saying the health care bill would be Armageddon?
